I think it would have been fairer to publish the ratings for separate categories rather than add them altogether for a total rating.

The hospital at the bottom of the “league” has been struggling for years with a building constructed badly from the start and that is now held up with a crisscross of supporting poles.
That doesn’t say anything about the quality of treatment but would inevitably bring it well down the league table.

Papworth, which was near the top of this league, wouldn’t have fared as well twenty years ago when most of its treatments seem to be delivered in a motley collection of huts and mobile units. But the treatment even then was renowned throughout the world.

It’s the detail that matters not the score, I think.

Please...

Where are people getting information about the rankings of their local hospitals from?

Ours is near yours Babs - just above but only by a few.

Really the poorest should be the ones getting £££ in my thinking!

My local hospital is close to yours babs. My Mum got excellent treatment in the stroke unit but anywhere else and the care was dreadful. The problem is the hospital is now too small for the area it serves with no hope of anything better.

When my husband was in hospital myself and the family took over his care after arriving time and again to find his hands covered in fecal matter and nobody had done the oral care he needed because he had oral thrush, we cleaned him and did the oral care, I even got bed linen and changed the bed with the help of a HCA because he was left sleeping on dirty sheets. A HCA whose mum had been in a ward at the same hospital said that she also had taken over her mums care.
We did complain to PALs

Our Trust ranked 66. Which I think is respectable.

Is it possible to drill down to individual hospitals, MayBee?

All the surrounding county ones seem pretty bad, too!

Sorry to have to say it but our Ambulance service is the worst in the country according to this. Our second largest hospital is also the worst in the country and our largest hospital is down in the hundreds.

It bears out my comments on here a few days ago unfortunately.

About as bad as it gets.

I sympathise.

About as bad as it gets.

Ours is in the bottom 5- I’ve always had positive experiences there so I have mixed feelings about this. I’m not sure if an overall rating is a good thing- some trusts may be good at some things, but bad at others- I think more detail would be helpful.

I don’t know whether it still is, but just a few years ago our local hospital was apparently the only acute hospital in the London area to have an Outstanding rating.
If the treatment I was given when I had pneumonia and pleurisy in 2023 was anything to go by, it was certainly well merited.

The hospital where I will probably have my knee replaced is near the bottom of the list …

Middle of the table for us - given the amount of building work going on that feels about right.
We have always received excellent care from various departments.

The trust in the NE has ranked really highly ( not surprised: when I stay at my partners the health care is excellent). Wes Streeting is going to use it to improve the service in other parts of the country.

Correction I meant to say out of 134 trusts.
